Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - turning down bull barrels
Posted: 2/27/2006 6:00:47 PM EDT
I bought an 18 inch RR varminter last week. It shoots really well but I think it may be too damn heavy. Should I sell the upper or have it turned down? It shoots sub moa! Is it a pain in the butt and cost effective to have it turned down? I really don't know if I should spend lots of money on an SPR barrel that may not be any more accurite?

Contact Steve at Adco Firearms. I sent my midlength to him to have it turned. It turned out great. An 18 inch varmint barrel is going to be heavy. Not the type of gun I would want to carry very far. You might want to just sell that barrel and have a new, lighter one installed. My midlength is a few years old. There werent many middies on the market when I had mine done

use a sling.  or carry around a heavier weapon, then the 18" will seem like a toy.  youll get used to it, heavier rifles shoot much better.
